This is one of my favorite time of the year. I see a lot to be thankful for around Thanksgiving. I have always enjoyed the food, time with family and friends, time off, as well as the deeper meaning of Thanksgiving. There is a lot to be thankful for when we really think about it. We can also be thankful for the progress that we have made over the past year. As we approach the end of the year, it is time to start thinking about what we have accomplished this year, and we can even begin to think about what we want to accomplish in the next year. As we do anything like this, it is easy to see what didn't go as planned. Despite that, there is likely plenty of progress we can be thankful for. Here are a few ways we can remember and be thankful for our progress.
You are not where you want to be but not where you used to be. We can be thankful for whatever progress we make. It may not always be significant, but as long as we keep making at least small progress each day, it can turn to something great.
You learned from your mistakes. We all make mistakes. We should be thankful for the lessons that we learn from them to become better.
Motivation. You will have fuel for motivation either way, whether it is to keep going because you saw a lot of progress or to get going stronger if you see a lack of progress.
Be thankful for where we most progress. I saved the best for last. We should definitely celebrate the areas where we have made the most progress at. It is very rewarding to look back at the beginning of the year and almost be surprised how far you have come.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and has an enjoyable time of rest and relaxation as well as some fun.
